I thought it was a option but couldn't recall what it was called.  The
biggest thing is I don't reboot very often which makes it harder to
diagnose a kernel problem.  My biggest reason for a reboot/shutdown,
power failure and batteries are getting a bit low. 

Thanks for the info.  I'll go do something about that so that I have it
when I reboot several months from now and have forgot all about this
problem.  lol
